Context-aware computing is based on using knowledge about the current context. Interpretation of current context to an understandable knowledge is carried out by reasoning over context and in some cases by matching the current context with the desired context. In this thesis we concentrated on context matching issue in context-aware computing domain. Context matching can be done in various ways like it is done in other matching processes. Our matching approach is best matching in order to generate granular similarity results and not to be limited to Boolean values. We decided to use Ontology as the encoded domain knowledge for our matching method. Context matching method is related to the method that we represent context. We selected conceptual graphs to represent the context. We proposed a generic algorithm for context matching based on the ontological information that benefit from the conceptual graph theory and its advantages.

An Ontology Based Question Answering System on Software Test Document Domain
Serhatlı, Meltem; Alpaslan, Ferda Nur (2009-04-26)
Processing the data by computers and performing reasoning tasks is an important aim in Computer Science. Semantic Web is one step towards it. The use of ontologies to enhance the information by semantically is the current trend. Huge amount of domain specific, unstructured on-line data needs to be expressed in machine understandable and semantically searchable format. Currently users are often forced to search manually in the results returned by the keyword-based search services. They also want to use their...
A certificate based authentication control model using smart mobile devices for ubiquitous computing environments
Çavdar, Davut; Eren, Pekin Erhan; Department of Information Systems (2011)
In this thesis work, a certificate based authentication model supported by mobile devices is provided for ubiquitous computing environments. The model primarily aims to create an infrastructure for controlling and regulating access requests through mobile devices to local resources and services. The model also allows users from different domains to use local resources and services within the scope of agreements between domains. In addition to conceptual description of the model, a real prototype implementat...
A semantic-based user privacy protection framework for Web services
Tumer, A; Dogac, A; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı (2005-01-01)
Web service technology is an Internet-based distributed computing paradigm to address interoperability in heterogeneous distributed systems. In this paper, we present a privacy framework for Web services which allows user agents to automatically negotiate with Web services on the amount of personal information to be disclosed on behalf of the user. In developing this framework the following key privacy considerations are taken into account: revealing only the minimal pertinent information about the user, no...

A Dynamic memory manager for FPGA applications/
Özer, Cenk; Bazlamaçcı, Cüneyt Fehmi; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014)
Recently, FPGAs are shipped with a large amount of internal memory (block RAM) sufficient to perform many complex computations without a need for off-chip memory. However, block RAMs (BRAMs) of FPGAs should be used efficiently especially for computations that need dynamic management of the memory. Thus, within the scope of this thesis work, a dynamic memory manager (DMM) unit is designed with an objective of meeting memory requests with a low fragmentation at runtime for FPGA applications. The unit is desig...
